Kennels that charge by the night start from $27 to $60 per night, with $40 a common starting point, as of October 2026. Some charge by the day instead, starting from $20 to $45 per day, with $25 common. Those are starting prices for a standard kennel or room; a bigger suite, a holiday stay or add-ons will raise the total.

It matters at pick-up. A per-night price usually has a check-out time, and collecting your dog after it can add a day of daycare or another night. A per-day price counts each calendar day your dog is there, including the first and last. Ask each provider how they count, then compare the total for your actual drop-off and pick-up times.

Often, yes. Many kennels let dogs from the same household share one kennel or suite and charge a lower rate for the additional dog than for a second kennel. The room has to be big enough for both, so a shared stay may mean booking a larger one. Ask for the price both ways.

A kennel or pet hotel is a building made for boarding, with separate kennels or rooms and staff looking after many dogs. Some providers board pets in a private home instead, with fewer animals and a household routine. Those listings carry an "In a home" tag. Neither is better for every dog; ask to see where your dog would sleep and how much time it spends out of its space.

Not always. At many kennels staff leave in the evening and return in the morning. A few state that someone is on site through the night, and those listings carry a "Staffed overnight" tag. Some also have webcams so you can look in on your pet. If it matters to you, ask what happens between closing and opening.

Most kennels ask for proof that your pet's vaccinations are up to date before the stay, and each sets its own list, so ask for it when you book and check with your vet in good time. Bring your pet's usual food to avoid a sudden change of diet, and any medication with written instructions. Some providers give medication; confirm that and any charge beforehand.
